The Good Life
SCORE: 62
I am thankful for Xbox Game Pass. I was
able to play and review The Good Life on the Xbox One thanks to that
program. I doubt I would have ever paid for The Good Life. I also was
unable to find a physical copy version of The Good Life in the US at
this time. I doubt I would ever want to purchase a physical copy version
of The Good Life after playing it. This odd video game is on the
Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The Good Life can be played on a
PS5 and Xbox Series X. I do not believe there are any enhancements on
those systems though.
The Good Life is a bit of a dull video game that jumps off the deep end
into the occult rather quickly. People turn into animals in The Good
Life. The player can turn into a cat and a dog thanks to some brew from
a witch. At first I thought The Good Life would be like Harvest Moon
where we can also photograph everything and everyone. Which is a great
idea. Naomi Hayward goes to Rainy Woods (The Happiest Place on Earth) on
assignment. She also has a lot of debt to pay off.
The Good Life gives the player missions to complete. Take a picture of
this person or that person. We go around the town taking pictures, and
then uploading them to an old computer. Those pics earn us money. There
are plenty of resources to collect in The Good Life too. Naomi has a
horrible attitude and mouth. She is not much of a lady in The Good Life.
We can also cook, and grow things in The Good Life too. This is where
The Good Life has a really good core.
The Good Life quickly throws us into witchcraft, people turning into
animals, bad language, violence, blood, false gods/goddesses, and more.
The Good Life also has a drug induce comma kind of vibe to it at times.
We are totally playing a story in The Good Life. The narrator is a story
teller. The voice acting in The Good Life is nice to listen to. The
graphics look okay in this 3D world. We have limited sprinting in The
Good Life. Parts of The Good Life looks great and others look really
dull.
The Good Life is one of those video games that started great, and showed
all kinds of promise. Then it took a strange turn and left me behind
totally. I stopped playing The Good Life because of all of the offensive
material. Don't game makers realize they are turning people off and
damaging their name? They are also damaging the image of the entire
industry. Once they break that trust it is really hard to get it back.
